Introducing a Protocol for Structured Conversations about Student Learning
by Erma Anderson
Analyzing student learning is a meaningful and challenging way to be data-driven. Collaborative analysis of student learning combines the best of action research, professional standards, study groups, standards-based learning, formative assessment, and reflective practice. Examining and reflecting on student learning in an accountable way helps to identify ways to adjust instruction to meet the diverse needs of students and to share the research which helps in thinking more deeply and carefully about the challenges students provide us.
This session will introduce participants to a structured format for analyzing and reflecting on student learning, the rigor and relevance of opportunities for students to learn, and the effectiveness of instructional practices.
Audience: Math and Science department heads, administrators
